A Brief History
Tammie Byram Fowles, LCSW, Ph.D., first conceptualized SagePlace in 1989. She wanted to establish a healing and wellness center that would offer visitors a wide array of opportunities to enhance healing and emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. She chose the name SagePlace for a number of reasons.
First, it represents the inherent wisdom that lives within each of us.
Second, it reflects the natural world symbolized by an herb whose name originates from the Latin term "salvere," and "salvatrix," which translates as "the plant, which saves and heals."
Third, it is an acronym for Spirituality, Awareness, Growth, and Emotional/Environmental/Physical healing and well being. SagePlace was to be a safe and inviting haven where individuals would learn, teach, develop their strengths, acquire new skills, enhance their knowledge, and give and receive support from one another. SagePlace would offer workshops, presentations, groups and individual counseling, as well as retreats focused on preventative and holistic health.
